+ <h1>Release Notes:<br />grml 0.7 - codename <a
+ href="/faq/#releasename">Bootenschnitzl</a> (20060410)</h1>
+
+ <h3>About</h3>
+
+ <p>grml is a Debian-based Live-CD. It includes a collection of GNU/Linux
+ software especially for users of texttools and system administrators. grml
+ provides automatic hardware detection. You can use grml for example as a
+ rescue system, for analyzing systems/networks or as a working environment. It
+ is not necessary to install anything to a harddisk, you don't even need a
+ harddisk to run it. Due to on-the-fly decompression grml includes about 2.1
+ GiB of software and documentation on the CD.</p>
+
+ <p><strong><a href="/donations/">We do need your help!</a></strong></p>
+
+ <h3>Bugfixes</h3>
+
+ <p>Fixed several bugs, including:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li><a href="http://bugs.grml.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=19">#19</a> grml-0.6: gkrellmd and battery status [wishlist]
+ <li><a href="http://bugs.grml.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=20">#20</a> grml-0.6: GRMLCFG does not work with floppy disk
+ <li><a href="http://bugs.grml.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=21">#21</a> hgrep: hgrep returns always success
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>and issues reported on <a
+ href="http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=grml_0.6">grml_0.6 @
+ grml-wiki</a>.</p>
+
+ <h3>New features</h3>
+
+ <p>Several improved, updated and extended configuration files.</p>
+
+ <h4>New grml-scripts (some selected ones):</h4>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>bt-audio: script to connect bluetooth headset to computer
+ <li>get_tw_cli: get 3ware RAID controller command line interface tool (tw_cli)
+ <li>event-viewer: program to see all fork/exec/exit/uid/gid events on a
+ running system using the new netlink/fork connector interface from linux
+ >=2.6.15
+ </ul>
+
+ <h4>New bootparameters/cheatcodes (some selected ones):</h4>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>vmware: disable usb/firewire detection during bootprocess, load some SCSI-modules instead
+ </ul>
+
+ <h4><a href="/grml2hd/">grml2hd</a> (install grml to harddisk):</h4>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>check for given mbr option and prompt for activating it if not set
+ <li>changed initrd/initramfs generator from yaird to initramfs: now booting via firewire is also possible
+ <li>added resume, brltty, speakup_synth and swspeak to list of grml2hd-bootparams so it's easier to use out of the box
+ <li>changed logic in grml2hd dialog for package removal: now select packages which should be kept
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>See <a href="/grml2hd/">grml.org/grml2hd/</a> for more details.</p>
+
+ <h4><a href="http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=usb">grml2usb</a> (install grml
+ to usb stick):</h4>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>improved error handling and its output
+ <li>activate bootoption usb by default in syslinux.cfg
+ <li>added uninstall option
+ </ul>
+
+ <h4>Special new features:</h4>
+
+ <ul>
+
+ <li>/bin/sh now points to /bin/bash; reason: Debian does not support zsh as
+ /bin/sh, zsh is used as interactive shell anyway of course
+
+ <li>reworked zsh completion (no error correction on rm and mv commands)
+
+ <li>grub can be called from bootmenu (in isolinux) through running 'grub'
+ now; thanks a lot to Rafael Steiner!
+
+ <li>reworked 'swspeak' bootoption: sound output during startup, start
+ software synthesizer when booting finished via running 'swspeak'
+
+ <li>rebuildfstab (generate /etc/fstab): partitions have new mount-options:
+ 'noauto,nouser,dev,suid,exec'; improved partition detection (e.g. reiser4
+ is detected now)
+
+ </ul>
+
